Rare Wales mention! I'm currently in Cardiff (capital of Wales)
Most jobs here are C#, Java, and Python. Job market is decent. Lots of people have been moving here lately as developers. Expect very low pay relative to London or US though.
I also know some people living in Cardiff but working remote for companies in Reading or Warwick. Also a few people working fully remote for Bluesky.
I'm personally moving out (to San Francisco) to pursue a startup though
There was a time when Cardiff used to be have quite a lively startup scene. Today though you'd be very lucky to find tech work. If you do it will be poorly paid.
Why do you ask? If you're not from the UK I'd highly advise not considering coming here. Economy is terrible, taxes are ridiculous, everything is extremely expensive, terrible weather, social unrest, poor transportation, etc... Most people with sense are trying to get the hell out.

No, but I live close.

London still commands high salaries and options for tech work relatively to the rest of the UK and many other countries in Europe
> taxes are ridiculous but the UK’s countryside is really beautiful haha
